bbc online: China Rescue Dogs for Beijing Olympics

QUICK COMMENT:

LET'S FACE IT: WHEN IT COMES TO ANIMALS, NONE ARE QUITE AS ADEPT AT PERFORMING THEIR TASKS AS THOSE LOVABLE AND UNCANNY CANINES!

Malaysia still has a long way to go before dogs are given the proper respect and recognition they deserve in helping human beings.

Here is a highly impressive dog-rescue training operation planned ahead of the Beijing Olympics from August 08 until 24. We hope, of course, that all the dogs in the video are treated with utmost loving care in their training.

Enjoy!
